. I almost feel like I have a used/refurbished racquet. The packaging was sealed with tape and there were marks on the bit that are not normally visible on a new bit. Otherwise it works great, much better than the cheap ones I bought. I broke a motor in my router and had to replace the armature and I blame it on the crappy bits I used or I just overcharged my little router. Anyway, these Whiteside bits appear to be high quality bits, they don't tear plywood as hard as this one. I will buy more from this brand.
